Hey everyone,
BizLocationDB is my attempt at building a high-quality POI dataset for popular chains and brands. I scraped public store locators to build this. Currently, there are not many brands but I am adding more continuously.
There are similar datasets like AllThePlaces and OpenStreetMap, but I’ve found them to be incomplete and messy to work with. For example, AllThePlaces has around 34k Starbucks features, while there are actually 40k+. Location identifiers are also not standardized. Sometimes, city, zip might be missing, the same coordinate could have multiple cities pointing to it, etc.
With BizLocationDB I wanted to focus more on accuracy, rather than just adding features blindly.
There are two tiers, free allows you to have the same data with lesser accuracy and lesser fields, and premium allows you to have the full data. I think that way I can keep it sustainable, and still have reasonable usefulness with the free version.
Feedback is appreciated.
